Shock Till You Drop: You’ve said for season three you want to incorporate the later books, Hannibal and Hannibal Rising. Does that mean we could have Dolarhyde and Mason Verger and characters from the past all in one episode?
Bryan Fuller: Absolutely, absolutely, and we will. We’ll definitely be seeing Murasaki. We’re hoping to see Mason Verger again this season. We are developing the Francis Dolarhyde story so that’s a very exciting thing for me because Red Dragon is my introduction into the Thomas Harris world.
Shock: I asked you on Twitter about the credit based on “characters from Red Dragon,” do you not have to credit the third book for Mason Verger? You told me you rent those characters per episode.
Fuller: Yes, we do.That’s very interesting business-wise.

So far my predictions about getting into F.D. at the end of season 3 is right, that some of these things like referencing Red Dragon with Fake Freddie's death would act as foreshadowing juxtapositions to the actual source material events and wouldn't be "cut", and that some of Mason Verger's Hannibal plot would be part of season 3! (I just hope they string Mason along and save the pig-scene for Clarice and not just roll it onto Will Graham. Would love for Mason to be an on again-off again long term villain!)
